- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains documents of the parish office in Fořt. The only Jewish-related documents are certificates of births and deaths of Jews (inv. 162, box 3–4).
- Archival history:
- The Roman Catholic church organisation was created in the border areas of the Vrchlabí region as early as the 14th century. During the Hussite wars it collapsed and was not renewed until the late 17th century. The oldest preserved documents therefore date from the early 18th century. The documents were most likely stored at the parish office. At some point prior to 1966, they were transferred to the regional archive of Trutnov in Vrchlabí, where they were inventoried in 1966
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The village is located 6 kilometres south-east of Vrchlabí. There is a record of the Lutheran parsonage from 1606. In 1664 the parish was re-catholicised and an administration was set up there. The parish fell under the vicariate of Hostinné.
